How to manage attachments


Recommended Posts

I clicked on my username at the top right, and selected "My Attachments". On that page, I can see various images I posted in the past, and it tells me I am over my quota for space for my attachment images. Fair enough - I'd like to clean a lot of that up. But I don't see any controls on the page to allow me to do that. To the right of each image is the text, "No locations to display. The content may not have been saved yet or may have been deleted." Clearly they aren't deleted because I can see them. Presumably that text is where a button to delete would be. How do I proceed? And since there are several dozen, is there a way that is more efficient and effective than one-at-a-time?

I'm not sure how it looks for you, but for me, to the right of each image line is a little square box. When I check a box, there's a pop-up that appear on the lower screen with a trash can icon. Click that and the image you've checked is deleted; check two, three or 10 boxes, and you can delete that many at a time. If you want to delete an entire page at once, there should be a square box at the top of your list, I think it might say 'sort by' ... if you click on that, you can 'select all'. It will select all on that page (25), so you can delete a page at a time.

If you don't have this, let me know, and I'll figure it out.

"You attachments. You lollygag your photos around the forums. You lollygag your memes through the articles. You lollygag in and out of the game threads. You know what that makes you? Anybody? Anybody at all? Lollygaggers!"

I'd show you, but I can't upload any attachments. :)

I put it somewhere online though. Here's what I see:

If you noticed my next post down, I already commented that you don't have the same option I do and tagged @Brock Beauchamp to respond.

Yes. I thought the screen shot might be of use to him.

Hmmm, there wasn't any obvious reason why you couldn't do this so I removed a bunch of permissions and reenabled them (we've had bizarre permissions issues since the update). Give it another try and let me know if that works.

No change in what I see on the screen. For each attachment, on the right there is text. "No locations to display. The content may not have been saved yet or may have been deleted." Same as in the screen shot I previously put up.

Okay, I'll loop back to this later. In the meantime, you prompted me to create a new user group Old Timey Member, which kicks in for any user over 10,000 posts. You have unlimited upload access now.

Your fingers are typing Old Timey Member but all I'm reading is Old. :)

Thanks for the extra storage, though. It wasn't really stopping me from doing anything but it's nice not to get the reminders from the system.

I just learned I’m an old timey member and temporarily changed my profile pic for the occasion!
